readx;?“ The Netherlands hoped that the French and Roman Empires, the British Empire and the Ming Empire would work together to guarantee the security of the Dutch East Indies. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info,ybdu"

Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Johann Brown. Tolbeck also arrived in London for a peace conference that had little to do with the Dutch, and his aim was, of course, not to help Africa, but to ensure that the dwindling Dutch colonial empire did not collapse at the hands of his generation.

This old Dutch man in his sixties with a long donkey face is currently the most important politician in the Netherlands, and has served as prime minister twice since the Dutch constitution was amended in 1848 to establish the post of prime minister (chairman of the Council of Ministers), and has been prime minister for almost seven years. And in the past seven years, he has been complaining all the time about a wrong decision made by the Dutch East India Governor's Office - not to eliminate Zhu Jishi, who occupied Lanfang, in time! Although Zhu Jishi did not gain the entire Dutch East Indies after obtaining Borneo, the strength of the Ming Empire is now obvious, and it is probably a matter of time before he goes south to the Dutch East Indies. This colony is the most important overseas territory of the Netherlands!

The atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became gloomy. Napoleon III's face was also slightly ugly. To be honest, he didn't like the Dutch! Because his father was once king of the Netherlands, and he stood on the side of the Bonaparte dynasty, he was the rightful king of the Netherlands, not the current William III!

"If the Ming Empire, the French and Roman Empires, and the British Empire could guarantee the security of the Dutch East Indies, the Kingdom of the Netherlands would guarantee itself permanent neutrality." The Dutch prime minister set his own conditions, "At the same time, the Netherlands also guarantees the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese in the Dutch East Indies." Of course. Provided that they must obey the laws of the Dutch East Indies! ”

Over the past few years. In the Dutch East Indies, there were many large plantations controlled by the United Rubber Company of the Ming Dynasty. These plantations often cover more than 100,000 acres. With residential quarters, schools, hospitals, and armed security, it was like a state within a state, and it was governed by self-government in complete disregard of Dutch East Indies law. For this reason, the Dutch East India authorities have negotiated with the United Rubber Company, but the controlling shareholder of this company is none other than the Ming Royal Consortium! So, I didn't take the Dutch seriously at all.

Tolbeck now speaks French. Wu Chunqiu could also understand, he just laughed a few times, and also replied in French: "The rights and interests of Ming citizens in the Dutch East Indies do not need to be protected by the Dutch East Indies authorities!" And we don't believe that the Dutch East Indies authorities have such ability, and there have been many massacres of Chinese immigrants in the Dutch East Indies in history! Did the Dutch East India authorities ever intervene to protect the Chinese? ”

Tolbeck took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. Historically, it is not wrong that the Chinese in the Dutch East Indies were often attacked by the natives. But you Chinese are not good people, and if it weren't for the Dutch East Indies authorities to suppress the Chinese, they would have slaughtered the natives. How many indigenous people are still on the island of Borneo today? Even on the island of Java, tens of thousands of natives are killed by the guards of the United Rubber Company every year! The Dutch East Indies are now in a state of civil war!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Ambassador Wu, I just want to remind you to pay attention. The Dutch East Indies remained a Dutch colony, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands was obliged to ensure order there. We will never tolerate the atrocities of the United Rubber Company! ”

Wu Chunqiu still sneered: "The Ming Empire will wait and see." ”

Tolbeck looked at Napoleon III, "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of the Netherlands looks forward to your friendship." ”

Napoleon III snorted twice in his heart, this must be Palmerston's trick! However, in front of the representatives of the European countries, he could not openly push the Dutch out. He could only bite the bullet and thin the mud: "Mr. Prime Minister, the main issue discussed in today's meeting is to help the people of black Africa...... I think the Netherlands, as an important European country, can shoulder an important responsibility in this regard. The lower reaches of the Niger, with the exception of Lagos, should be helped by the Netherlands. ”

The lower reaches of the Niger River are the area of Nigeria in later generations, rich in resources and large in population. In the 19th century, it was also a very rich territory, and it was indeed no worse than the Dutch East Indies when it was well managed. But the question is...... There are no Chinese there! Relying on those people in the Netherlands will definitely not be able to do anything, relying on the black ...... Tolbeck could only smile wryly and nodded.

As soon as Napoleon III breathed a sigh of relief, the Belgian Crown Prince Leopold (that is, the historical colonial maniac Leopold II) stood up again and said loudly: "The Kingdom of Belgium believes that the Kingdom of the Congo needs Belgian help, and this is also Belgium's unshirkable responsibility!" ”

When Napoleon III heard this, he glared at the unsuspecting crown prince on the spot. In the blink of an eye, Prussia was going to take Cameroon, the lower Niger River was given to the Netherlands, and Belgium was taking the Congo with a big mouth. What is left of this Black African Empire? You make Zengk. Where does O'Hara's African black lion squat?

"Congo can't do it, Belgium should go and help the people of southwest Africa south of Portuguese West Africa and north of the Cape colony." With a wave of his hand, Napoleon III gave the territory of Namibia to Belgium. And then he didn't wait for any more demands from Count Andrách of Austria and Duke Gorchakov of Russia - these two countries were in league with Britain, and wouldn't giving them territory be the same as giving British territory? As for the other European and Nordic countries, Napoleon III did not intend to give them a piece of the pie either, and if they continue to divide it, there will be no Black African Empire!

The French emperor hurriedly stood up and announced loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the best way I want to help the people of Black Africa is to send back to the African continent millions of blacks who have lived, worked, fought, and are familiar with the civilized world in the United States, so that they can imitate the management methods of advanced countries there and establish a strong, prosperous, and civilized Black African Federation!" This country would include Liberia, Benin, Togo, and the Congo, as well as any black African hinterland they could rule. This country will have a completely open trade policy. At some point in the future, goods and merchants of any country, as well as missionaries, will be free to enter any part of the Black African Federation. And the land, resources, and labor in the hinterland of black Africa will also be fully utilized, and it will become a big market for civilized countries! ”

……

When the news of the conclusion of the "International Agreement on Assistance to Black Africa" at the London Conference reached Nanjing. In Zhu Jishi's Hot Spring Palace, several important officials of the Ming Imperial Cabinet, the military chief of the Generalissimo's Palace, and the leaders of the two parties of the Constituent Assembly were all summoned. Discuss the invasion of Annam. Although the Ming Dynasty did not have the opportunity to help Black Africa this time, Napoleon III also gave a supplement and handed over the important task of helping the people of Annam to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this is an unshirkable responsibility of Daming! However, Napoleon III did one thing that was not right, he did not transfer the rights and interests of France in French Annam to the Ming Dynasty, but let the Nguyen Dynasty of Annam spend 5.5 million silver dollars to ransom himself, and "sold" the entire French Annam, including the Phnom Penh region and southern Vietnam, to the Nguyen Dynasty, and now the French garrison and officials have retreated, and the Nguyen Dynasty has completely taken over the territory and population of the original French Annam.

And the Ruan Dynasty, which has returned to power, also knows that it is not the opponent of the Ming Empire, although they have also accumulated a certain amount of force over the years, but compared to the Ming Dynasty, which has grown into one of the three major powers in the world, it is really not worth mentioning. However, the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species are always unwilling, although they have been shouting something before they have left the protection of France, "although there are three households, the more the Ming will die". But the irresponsible Napoleon III really let it go, and the Nguyen Dynasty immediately panicked. Not only did he not dare to send troops to the Ming Dynasty, but he also sent Pan Qingjian, a scholar of the Qinzheng Palace, to Nanjing to be a minister, wanting to follow the example of Siam and Japan and gain the status of a Ming vassal minister. It's just that the lives of the Vietnamese people are more bitter, and our great tomorrow looks down on them, and the slogan of "although there are three households, the more the Ming will die", no one dares to shout after Zhu Jishi's restoration, if such a country can stay, is there still a country in the world that should be destroyed?
